FAQs

Are Clarks Funny Dream shoes true to size?

Clarks footwear generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. The natural leather upper will adapt and mold to your foot shape slightly with wear, enhancing comfort.

Can I wear these nubuck shoes in wet weather?

Nubuck is a type of leather and is not inherently waterproof. To protect your shoes and enhance their water resistance, we strongly advise applying a suitable nubuck protector spray before wearing them, especially if you anticipate damp conditions.

How should I clean scuff marks on the nubuck material?

For minor scuffs, gently rub the affected area with a nubuck eraser or a clean, soft pencil eraser. For more significant marks, a specialized nubuck cleaner may be necessary. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

What specifically contributes to the high comfort level of these shoes?

The exceptional comfort stems from a combination of features: a soft padded footbed, the 'Contoured Comfort' system that ergonomically supports your foot's natural shape, and the 'Cushion Plus' technology, which incorporates a high-rebound foam inlay to absorb impact and provide lasting softness.

Are the laces replaceable if they get damaged or lost?

Yes, the short laces in the Clarks Funny Dream shoes are replaceable. When seeking replacements, look for flat, waxed laces of a similar length to maintain the shoe's original aesthetic and functionality.

Can I use my custom orthotics with these shoes?

The Clarks Funny Dream shoes feature an integrated padded footbed for optimal comfort. While the design generally accommodates standard foot shapes, for custom orthotics, it is always best to try the shoes on with your specific orthotics to ensure a comfortable and proper fit without compromising the shoe's internal space or comfort features.

Troubleshooting

Nubuck surface appears dull or flattened.

Gently brush the nubuck with a specialized nubuck brush to lift the nap and remove any surface debris, restoring its original texture.

Shoes feel too snug or tight when first worn.

Wear the shoes for short periods around your home. Nubuck leather has a natural ability to soften and mold slightly to the unique shape of your foot over time, improving the fit.

Laces frequently come untied despite regular tying.

For enhanced security, especially with shorter laces, try tying a 'surgeon's knot' (a double overhand knot) which offers better grip and less slippage.

Foot feels excessively sweaty or lacking ventilation.

Ensure you are wearing socks made from breathable, moisture-wicking materials. Also, allow your shoes to air out completely between wears to prevent moisture build-up.

Sole produces a squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur with new outsoles. If it persists, try applying a thin layer of talcum powder or cornstarch to the sole's surface, or walk on different types of flooring to see if the sound changes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Lacing: Gently unlace the shoes enough to comfortably slide your foot inside.

Care Guide for Nubuck Leather

  • Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated nubuck brush to regularly remove dust and dirt from the surface. This also helps to restore the material's velvety nap.
  • Stain Treatment: For more stubborn stains, apply a specialized nubuck cleaner. Always follow the product's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or excessive water.
  • Protection: Prior to their first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality nubuck protector spray. This will help to repel water and guard against stains.
  • Drying: If your shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the nubuck.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
